Hi all! After typing a title, changing to outlines, assigning a spot color to fill, a spot color to stroke, and using neon glow, it turns black/gray? How do I have the effect using my spot colors? I'm "green"!

I can't duplicate your problem in either 9 or 10. Maybe do your stroke as a seperate entity from the fill? Do your glow to only the fill and see if that works.

Try lowering the resolution to Screen (72 ppi) when you rasterize it.

I believe Terri Petit said that the Neon Glow filter is a photoshop filter, so it requires rasterization to use. When you rasterize your text, your losing the spot component and your text is converting to either an RGB, Grayscale, or a bitmap image (depending on your selection in the Rasterization dialog box). (You can also rasterize to CMYK but the filters won't work on CMYK images.)
Anyhow, Illustrator can't support duotone images embedded within the document, which is seems to be what you're aiming for. You need to do this effect in a duotone (or monotone or whatever) photoshop document and then place it as linked in your illustrator file. You can choose a custom color in Photoshop and the Neon filter makes everything grayscale anyway -- then adds the chosen color.
